8 Overview
Export and Deploy the Bundles
Using the Deployment Media
Let us assume that Peter wants to update the firmware on the
PowerEdge T610 system. As T610 does not have an operating system
installed, Peter selects Deployment Media as the method to export the
bundles relevant to the firmware update. Deployment Media is used in
pre-OS environments to update systems irrespective of the operating system
installed on those systems. It can also be used to update systems that do
not have an operating system installed.
1
Peter selects all the bundles relevant to PowerEdge T610 from the
repository he created.
2
Peter clicks Export.
3 In the Export Destination dialog, Peter clicks Deployment Media and
specifies a location in which to save the ISOs.
Repository Manager creates a bootable ISO image of the bundles Peter has
selected to export. This feature is applicable for the Linux bundles.
NOTE: Bundles containing Windows components are skipped during the
export process.
4 Peter burns the ISO image to a CD and runs the CD on the T610 system.
The system is updated with all the bundles in the ISO.
Using the Raw Driver Pack
Let us assume that Peter wants to update the drivers in the PowerEdge R710
system and creates a bundle to do the same.
1
Peter selects the repository into which to add the bundle.
2 On the Bundles tab, Peter clicks Add.
3 In the Import Options dialog, Peter selects Manually create a bundle and
clicks Next.
4 Peter specifies a name and version for the bundle he created. He also
selects the operating system relevant to the bundle. Because the
PowerEdge R710 system is running on Microsoft Windows,
Peter selects Windows.
